The Waffle House Tango lyrics

(Spoken) 
In the deep of the darkest night 
There's a beacon of yellow light 

(singing) 
At the Waffle House 
At the edge of the dark abyss 
The confusion decends like this 
Just deeper and denser 

At the Waffle House 
After the midnight hour 
Scraping the eggs and flour 
From the napkin dispenser 

(Refrain) 
And we who run from our homes 
When the silence of sorrow 
Won't leave us alone 
And we who are out there this late 
Be it heartbreak or highway 
Or some altered state 
When it's time that we slow up 
And wrap both our hands around our cup 
And stay until the feeling goes 
As long as there are broken hearts and dreams 
And all of that highway in between 
The waffle house will never close 

At the Waffle House 
Under the cobalt sky 
The drivers with bloodshot eyes 

At the Waffle House 
If you're facing some bitter truth 
We'll save you a window booth 
And we will be waiting 

When you run from your home 
When the silence of sorrow won't leave you alone 
When you are out there this late 
Be it heart break or highway or some altered state 
When it's time that you slow up 
And wrap both your hands around your cup 
And stay until the feeling goes 
As long at there are broken hearts and dreams 
And all of that highway in between 
The Waffle House will never close
